YSR Congress party holds meeting in Amravati

<p>Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu announced to begin a constructive agitation from Wednesday to April 6 over the issue of special category status to Andhra Pradesh.</p>

<p>He also urged everyone in the Andhra Pradesh state to "wear black badge and work one extra hour and show their protest", while addressing in the state assembly.</p>

<p>Naidu further said that his party will not make any compromise with state's interest.</p>

<p>"No compromise on state interests, there would be no stepping back on protecting people's rights," Naidu said.</p>

<p>He further added that he is willing to bear any insult for the sake of people and the state while addressing his Telugu Desam party, via teleconference.</p>

<p>"I am willing to bear any insult for the sake of people and the state," he said.</p>

<p>He further attacked Bhartiya Janata Party, YSR Congress party, and Jana Sena Party for not attending the all-party meeting, he said it "exposed their true colours."</p>

<p>"We will again call BJP, YSRCP & Jana Sena Party for the next meeting. If needed, our ministers will go and call them. If they don't attend the meeting they will be seen as traitors by people", he added.</p>

<p>Naidu also cried foul over Centre "counter-attacking" them instead of giving justice.</p>

<p>"Even though MPs displayed their strength by showing blue coloured number signs for admitting No-Confidence motion, it is very undemocratic to adjourn the House like this. I am asking for the justice. Instead of doing that, the centre and the Bharatiya Janata Party are counter-attacking us," Naidu said.</p>

<p>The TDP president also demanded that the Centre must fulfil 19 aspects of AP Reorganisation Act and assurances made in Rajya Sabha including Special Category Status.</p>

<p>"It is a fight concerning 5 crore people of Andhra Pradesh," the chief minister said. "It is linked to sentiments of AP people.

<p>YSR Congress party chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy on Friday took a dig at Andhra Pradesh chief minister Chandrababu Naidu for failing to get the Special Category Status (SCS) to the state despite being in power for four years. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Even as the opposition parties rallied behind Chandrababu Naidu&#39;s TDP which moved the no-confidence motion against the Modi government, &nbsp;demanding the SCS for the state, Jagan Mohan said that TDP had to follow YSRCP&#39;s lead of moving no-confidence motion against the Centre for not granting SCS to AP.</p>

<p>The issue of granting of special status to AP was raised first by the YSR Congress party chief, who spoke about it vocally from the very beginning.

YS Jagan during the course of his Padayatra in the state stressed upon the benefits the state could receive from being granted special category status, in public rallies and interactive meetings.
